Re: Question about iPhone stand for using KNFB reader
Lisa Belville
Hi. I also have a StandScan and it makes getting a scan on the first try very easy. It's a box that's enclosed on the back and sides with the top part of the box complete except for a small hole on top. This hole can be lined up with your phone's back facing camera so that the paper is in focus. The LED lights are bright, but they are attached to all three sides of the inside of the box so you don't need to look directly at them. You don't have to use them, but it makes it easy to know whether or not enough light is present to get a good scan.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I've used it with the KNFB reader and with Text Grabber. I've found that what one app doesn't scan well, the other one does. I use both apps free hand, but if I'm in a hurry or if I need accuracy and speed, I'll use the StandScan. Lisa Belville missktlab1217@... Santa Claus has the right idea.

But yes it could use some more updating. But I don’t know what the ADA would have to do with Uber or taxies other than we have access to other. Another words you cannot be denied to ride in one because you are blind or have your Gide animal with you or whatever your service animal might be or might be far.

We need to update our legal framework, technology moves faster than representatives and senators. Look UBER, in several places they don’t know what to do with uber. New York has been trying to handle UBER in the same way how they handle taxi companies. NY makes money with the licenses that the city provide to taxi drivers. Now they are losing money. Look the bunches of holes in ADA related with the online education. That law is written when the only way to take classes was in a class room. Like this, are many other examples.

From: Matt Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2016 4:15 PM To: main@TechTalk.groups.io <mailto:main@TechTalk.groups.io> Subject: Re: [TechTalk] Article: Michigan Legalizes Consumer Sales Of Self-Driving Vehicles (No Steering Wheels Or Pedals Required) Well that is true and this really owning a vehicle in your name has nothing to do with ADA at all. Only if you are driving one . In the case of being blind we are not allowed to drive one as of now. Now other disabilities is different. Say like people in a wheel chair or people with hearing loss and so on. They can drive cars as long as they can see and it can be adapted to be driven safe. This is where the complete automatic car comes in with no steering wheel or peddles to us as this would not matter then if you could see or not. As you would never have any kind of control over the vehicle. But ones with steering wheels and peddles and an override button would be different as this would allow you to disengage the automatic function and this would be a bad thing for us. Unless this was somehow was able to tell if you was a seeing person or not and then lock you out of that function. I assume maybe they would have it so you put in your DL if visual and if not then you would skip this step and you would be locked out of taking over.

This would be demonstrating against us. You should be able to be the only one on the title. If they tell you different I think they would be wrong. But I sure each state has their own laws about this. Here in Florida it is no problem to be the only one on the title as long as you have a desnated driver and insurance. Now a DL is a total different thing.

I know a lot of the smaller towns already allow ATV’s to use the town streets. I could do so much right here in town I could care less if I ever was able to use it to get to another state or town. any word of cost? From: Matt Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2016 1:32 PM To: main@TechTalk.groups.io <mailto:main@TechTalk.groups.io> Subject: Re: [TechTalk] Article: Michigan Legalizes Consumer Sales Of Self-Driving Vehicles (No Steering Wheels Or Pedals Required) Well yes I think that the more liberal (blue ) states and then the mix (purple ) states will come on board first. I think most of the conservative states (red ) states will be the later states to come on board. But while this is all nice I also think this will be in the more heavy populated area that you see them and then they will at some point spread on out. Now this being said it will I think still be a long time before I think a blind person will be allowed to have a driver licensing to drive one of these cars. The nice thing about it no steering wheel means no one can drive it. So with that the ones with no steering wheel I think we will come closer to being able to have one and ride in it by our self. I think it will be different for those that have a steering wheel. The one that is completely and totally automatic with no steering wheel I see no reason to deny us. But the thing is this is for this state . So it might be legal for Michigan it will not be legal for other states . so then you will not be able to drive across state line. This is good start but till it becomes a national law to have and drive these in all states it would be a burden for some. Now like me more than likely I would never leave my state so it would be fine. But I think Florida is going to be on the later end of this. As they are a very red state. But maybe not they might get on board as a safety issue. I just hope I not too dam old when it comes a national thing to be able to own and have a total automatic car that you can drive anywhere in the USA. I would be happy to have it like just my state legal to buy own and use one in my state. Since it would be total automatic with no steering wheel or peddles then I cannot see them denying us over our seeing partners as neither one would have any more control then the other. JST!
